Even the packaging is excellent — everything comes so well protected that I’m pretty sure they could fall from 2 meters and still be fine. They’re just beautiful.Honestly, I don’t think they could be made any better. Totally worth the price.On the other hand, I also have the 1/72 A-4 Skyhawk Attack, the 1/72 Harrier Jet Royal Air Force Fighter, and the 1/72 F-16D Block 42 90-0778 "MiG Killer" — these are marked as made by NUOTIE, and the quality is clearly much lower.The packaging is really flimsy, and any bump can break something. My A-4 Skyhawk arrived with all three landing gears broken. The overall quality isn't terrible, but definitely not on the same level as the TEREBO ones.And the base that came with the F-16D is just plain awful — total junk, not even worth a dollar.The TEREBO models (F/A-18F and F-14A) cost me close to $100 each, while the NUOTIE ones (A-4, Harrier, and F-16D) were less than half that — but honestly, they’re not worth it. The TEREBO planes feel like real collectibles. The NUOTIE ones? Just decent toys.So yeah — make sure to check the listing carefully and see who the manufacturer is before you buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best model I’ve seen in decades and all metal

OK so I have been assembling models for over 45 years and I sit on the board of directors for a military history museum. We have many dioramas and models within our museum. I was ready to buy this for $100 however I figured let’s see what it’s about upon receiving the package. I noticed that the entire Bolo box was very heavy, and once I opened the outer box and actually saw the packaging. I knew I was in for a treat because the external packaging Was beautiful. Nothing about the box is Cheap. The model comes fully assembled, except few minor parts, including ordinance. It is beautifully crafted, made out of metal. The paint the decals the detail is amazing for such a small model. It definitely feels like 2 1/2 pounds. It is the correct dimensions. The stand is fabulous. It is every bit as nice as a Franklin mint model all in all I could not be more happy with this. I took the box and some foam board and a few inspirational pictures and made a small diorama of the aircraft landing If you love models you have to get it .

Cool shelf piece but worth about $50. I guess Chinese tariffs make it overpriced.

Pretty awesome

It's a pretty awesome model and I find myself gazing at it time and again. But be aware, the missiles on each wingtip will break off if bumped against a hard surface.
